GCU Spring 12 Hopefuls!!!!!

[johnnyarei]

hi everyone! i just wanted to start a thread for all of the gcu (Grand Canyon University) spring 2012 hopefuls.

i'm hoping to get into the scottsdale healthcare night/weekend program! it's a drive for me (i live about an hour away), but i work full-time in the mornings, so i need a program that's offered at night. i wish the program was shorter than 20 months, but at least its not 2 full years! i already have a bachelors degree in general studies. i took the teas last week and passed the math and reading sections. i'm currently taking hcr 210, hcr 240, and bio 205 online at rio salado. i am taking com 270 in the fall at mesa community college. i'll be sending off for my fingerprint clearance card soon.

well, i hope to talk to some of the hopefuls out there. have a great day! ?

My GPA was 3.96 and my TEAS scores were in the 80's. They use it all but I don't know the formula. I can give you this tip though. Talk to ---- and ------ during the Acceptance program often ask lots of questions and be very involved. If you act like you are involved and serious about the program it helps. It seems that a lot of the decision making is subjective.

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to update everyone. Due to situations beyond my control, I actually did not apply. However, I am back and I am ready to focus on school again. I only have one class left to apply for the nursing program - COM 270 (which I am enrolled in for Spring PVCC). I retook CHM 130 for a better grade and got an A! I am soooo excited! My plan is to apply for the Summer program at St Joes. If I don't get in, I will apply for the Fall Program at SHC. I originally chose SHC because I liked the night/weekend option idea. However, from reading several posts, I realize that the program is not necessarily on the weekends. So, that's my plan! Good luck to everyone who got in!

I wish you much success in your Nursing careers!
